Hello everyone,
we are currently in the middle of planning the floor plan. Unfortunately, I don’t have the architect’s drawing yet, but I wanted to get your opinions already. I’m afraid the house might be too dark because of the north-facing side, so I actually want to include as many windows as possible.
Thanks in advance!
Development plan / restrictions
Plot size: 390
Slope: no
Site coverage ratio 0.4
Floor area ratio 0.4
Building envelope, building line, and boundary fully utilized
Edge development
Number of parking spaces: 1
Number of floors: 1
Roof type: gable roof 38 degrees
Requirements of the builders
Style, roof type, building type: modern
Basement, floors: ground floor, first floor, attic
Number of occupants, age: 4 (2 adults + 2 children aged 4 & 3), but more children are planned
Office: family use or home office?
Guest bedrooms per year: 5-10
Open kitchen, kitchen island: open & island
Number of dining seats: 6-8
Fireplace: no
Carport later: yes
Utility garden
Other wishes / special features / daily routine, including reasons why certain things are desired or not: I would like everything open on the ground floor. Since we have the north side, I’m worried it will be too dark, so I try to plan windows everywhere or doors with side panels. The utility/technical room must be behind the kitchen. First floor: knee wall at 50cm (20 inches). 2 children’s bedrooms & 1 bedroom with walk-in closet. If more children come, the parents will move to the attic. I also want a laundry/utility room upstairs.
Attic: to be finished later.
House design
Planning by: self-planned
What do you particularly like? Why? Open, spacious living area
What do you not like? Why? Bathroom and toilet arrangement bothers me
Preferred heating system: not decided yet, probably heat pump
If you have to give up any details or additions
- can give up: upstairs utility room, freestanding bathtub
- cannot give up: kitchen layout, windows
What is the most important/basic question about the floor plan summarized in 130 characters?
Can I plan the windows better so it stays nice and bright? And I don’t like the bathroom 100%, would appreciate tips.

Draw the 2-meter (6.5 feet) line on the upper floor.
There are some floor plans available online, for example
Laux Slim
Town & Country Aura 125, which is a bit shorter.
Almost all floor plans on the internet are shorter but still don’t feel as cramped as a Tetris layout.
How far is the house set back from the street?
I would place the kitchen and dining area facing east, and the living space facing west.
Put the staircase, utility room, cloakroom, and WC in the center.
I would try a straight staircase; that way, there is still enough space upstairs to plan a room opposite the stairs, and you won’t need a long corridor anyway.

390 sqm (4198 sq ft) # floor area ratio 0.4 # plot ratio 0.4 # I !!! # SD38 will never produce what the OP has drawn here. It actually resembles more the approximately one hundred forty SD38 two-story (II+D) terraced/semi-detached houses typical of classic land developer building types.

390 sqm (4,198 sq ft) # floor area ratio 0.4 # floor space index 0.4 # I !!! # SD38 will never ever result in what the original poster has drawn here. It actually resembles more the one hundred and forty SD38 two-story (II+D) row/semi-detached houses typical for classic property developers. But it actually is like that 🙂 maybe it’s misleading because I didn’t draw in the 2 m (6.5 ft) line… but I specifically moved the furniture forward so you can see how it will be arranged.
